Hey Listeners! We're going on a hiatus for a little while. We're ok! Kristen needed some time for personal reasons. Bethany, however, will be starting TWO NEW podcasts!!! One about atheism-related current events in historical context (
WE LOVE CLUE. We know you do, too. Everyone loves Clue (1985). If you've never seen it by all means doooooo. Joining us on this adventure is Jess Larsen, who lends her expertise to this new installment of our Whodunit series on m
It wasn't us; it was the one-armed man! For this installment of Whodunit, we're covering The Fugitive (1993). It's fun, it's fast, and it's got plenty of one-liners to keep you happy. The Fugitive IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt
Hey you guys - it's time for a new series! We adore murder mysteries, so for this series, we're doing Whodunit? which is basically that - mysteries. The first episode is on The Conversation (1974), which follows a wire tapper (
For the final episode of our series on musicals covering La La Land (2016), we invited cinephile and owner of a spectacular laugh, Steve Kleumpers to help us break it down. Patrons will remember Steve from this month's Best of the Worst epi
Today's episode covers the quintessential musical Rent (2005). We discuss the character flaws and the beautiful music, and we talk through the way this film makes us think about the world differently. Both Kristen and Bethany saw this movie whe
Join Kristen and Bethany as they discuss Prince, Purple Rain (1984), and the upsetting themes in the film. The 80's were a time of montages and music, and we love that, even the big purple motorcycle. We don't really love domestic abuse; actual
You guys know South Park, right? You know The Book of Mormon musical on Broadway? Surely you know Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Did you know that Trey Parker made a musical while he was in college? It's described as a "black comedy horror m
Here we go again - my, my, how could we resist Mamma Mia (2008)? This lovely flick was requested by our current top patron Meagan, who we have to thank for an excellent time discussing such a silly and fun movie. Thanks, Meagan! We apprec
OMFG this is such a weird movie. There's weird moving from actual reality to hallucinations. There's drug addiction and truly intense scenes of emotional despair. It jumps around a lot. Please enjoy our review of All The Jazz (1979). All That
We sincerely apologize for the software error which caused Andrew not to appear on part 2 when it was initially released and the issue with part 1 which made it appear that Bethany and Andrew were talking over each other. We are re-releasing pa
Joining us for this special episode of Is This Reel Life? is Andrew Torrez of podcasting and legal fame! Andrew is a real life lawyer and co-host on Opening Arguments (the best damned legal podcast out there, in our opinion). For this awesome
You know what? Some movies are good movies. Some movies are bad movies. This movie is... neither. Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) is about two dudes in a jail cell chatting. Telling stories. One is a political prisoner; the other is not remotel
Did you know we offer $2+ patron-only episodes once a month? They cover the Best of the Worst terrible movie series. April's terrible movie was The Devil Inside (2012), in which we found out that demon possession is such a widespread problem th
We love Pride (2014). It's the heartwarming (and sometimes heart-wrenching) story about what a gay and lesbian group did for the miners during their strike in the U.K. which began in 1984. They had experienced the same sorts of things the miner
This movie is... weird. The main character does things that are kind of terrible sometimes, and there is a gatekeeping son of a bitch of a therapist. But there is also commentary on how it's ok to be trans. We had a lot to say about Transameric
Oh, Harvey Milk, how we adore thee. You fought the good fight. You lost and you won. You dove in and attempted something that should have broken you, but it didn't. Our hats off to Harvey Milk and all LGBTQ people who get involved and shape pu
#LesbianFunTimes Part Two: Electric Boogaloo. See snazzy links in previous episode for Ris and all her awesomeness.
In today's episode, we are not only joined by the incomparable Marissa Alexa McCool, but we are also beginning a new series on LGBTQ movies we've titledTears for Queers. This week, we're talking about But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), which both Ri
We learned a lot from North Country (2005). The story hinges around the events leading up to and during a landmark court case involving sexual harassment - as a class action. The women working in the mines were severely harassed by the old boys
For this episode, ITRL welcomes friend of the show Kelly King (Twitter: @Skellyton117) to discuss A League of Their Own (1992) about the All-American Girls' Baseball League during World War II. Kelly helps us to put this movie in its proper hi
We have... differing views on this movie. But that's the whole point of talking about things, right? You get to hear someone else's point of view. In this installment of Don't Call Me Girl, Sir! we discuss Flashdance (1983). It's the story of
We freaking LOVE this movie. In this installment of Don't Call Me Girl, Sir! we are covering the Disney film Mulan (1998). We love that the voice actor for the main character in an Asian movie is Ming-Na Wen, who was born in Macau (near Hong Ko
If you've ever seen a Michael Moore documentary, you know how important unions are to some people in the United States. While we can't agree with Mr. Moore on all his points (and his editing style), we do think the growth of unions is a major p
Ready for a fun new series? After mental health, how could we cover anything other than... Feminism! We don't consider Dirty Dancing (1987) to be about feminism so much as the horrific story of a botched abortion, but hell, we included it anywa
